Icecap 4' MH/T5/LED Hood

Reef Illuminations Construction
The body of the fixtures are a very substantial, lightly textured,
coated Aluminum. The Aluminum dissipates heat more efficiently
than most construction materials and the chemical coating assures
the fixtures stay shiny and corrosion free for years. Under the
covers they are equally impressive. Wiring meets and exceeds the toughest specifications; internal components are held
in place by bolts with washers the preferred assembly process instead of screws. Power cords are 3 meters (10ft) for
increased safety.

The T5 fixture, as configured, does not require additional cooling. Cooling in the T5 Metal Halide Combo is
accomplished two ways, natural venting through the grill down the center of the fixture and with two fans, one push,
one pull. DC fans were chosen for increased reliability and less noise. Reef Illuminations fixtures will be available in
both Silver and Black finish, black available sometime in Q-1.

Reef Illuminations fixtures are designed to emulate a specific environment
The health of a reef display is dependent on the correct amount and spectrum of light. The Reef Illuminations Metal
Halide/T5 combo with its 2 metal halide lamps, 2 T5 fluorescent lamps, and 2 LED LunarLites tube arrays generates a lot
of light. This fixture is best suited for deep aquariums or displays dominated by Acropora, Seriatopora, Stylophora,
Porites, and other shallow water specimens. The Reef Illuminations T5 fixture with its four T5 fluorescent lamps with 4
LED LunarLites tube arrays is best suited for shallow aquariums or deepwater corals such as Acanthastrea,
Trachyphyllia, Scolymia, Cynarina, Fungia, Cycloseris, Blastomussa, etc. Don’t confuse lower light with lower quality
light. Some fixtures don’t put out much light because of poor design. We’re putting out the right amount of good
quality light for the right applications.*
